Day 30 Funny, for the last few days I haven't been seeing the counter in anyone's posts, just the text
Day 0! No pity for a fool. Now lets go all the way. Make this a priority. Health is number one thing.
Day 68 update: I did actually work out today. Didn't lie to myself! Because that's what happen when you're on nofap, especially on a longer streak, that you become more loyal and honest to yourself. You can trust yourself more. It's because nofap is your way home back to your real self. And damn, my voice is unusually low today. Testosterone is a real thing. God, it's embarrasing how high pitch my voice used to be when I was in my early - mid 20's. Thank goodness there was a cure for that.
Day 9 done, on day 10. Yesterday was a really weird day maybe because of the dream that i had, my dreams really affect my mood throughout the day it almost feels like i was super depressed. And the urges was really strong yesterday, so i just get out of my bed/room to go outside and it really help me a lot, i kept myself busy all day. Still continuing the streak! Today I'm feeling a bit better than i was yesterday. I really should get back to exercising, maybe someday I'll start again. Day 7[✓] Day 14[] Day 21[]
It's day 4 today. Feeling very turned on right now. There was a porn game I used to play, I want to download it and play again. But it wastes my whole day, makes me dull, sleepy, and guilt ridden, worrying about what I'm doing with my life. As I write this, the urge has gone away, in a few moments. Urges will come back, I'm stronger than my 'child ego'. Day 3 went by, I'll make it through 90 days. It doesn't feel that hard.
The reward system might work better when your desire for reward is stronger than your desire for dopamine through porn.
I think about talking to women, having normal conversations with them, invite them for a friendly lunch without feeling awkward about it, looking at them like normal human beings, that gives me more drive to quit porn.
I suggest reading books or watching movies that make your mind peaceful. Avoid thriller or action or murder mysteries etc. Agitated mind can make the urges stronger. And stay away from phone screen in the morning, for at least a couple of hours. I suggest starting with something like - Ikigai, Japanese secret to a long a happy life.
Food intake should be light, too much food produces lethargy, which in my experience is another trigger.
Day 17. Yesterday was easy. Today's gonna be easy too!! That's what I'm telling myself haha. I've had urges, sure. I've had moments when the idea of fapping would have seemed so nice and pleasurable. But we all know where that road leads and I'm just not going back there. I'm done. DONE! Stay strong guys!
I also used to download games like this. It's the worst because it's time consuming, and let's not lie, It's adrenaline inducing if it feels like were gaming for a release. I'ts really tough but like PMO, you just gotta learn from your own experiences and use them to push through this journey. I'm currently on day 47/90 and I already do not feel controlled by my urges to give in to my fantasies or download these type of games. You'll thank yourself for holding on in the times where you desperately need to relapse, you got this bro.
Evening update - I'm feeling turned on right now. I feel I need help. Feels like I won't be able to sleep if I don't masturbate. I need to make it through.
